Liked the food, service was staggered - Edit
I LOVE real food and go to the other branches all the time. When I went to this branch with friends, the food was great as always, but the service was quite staggered. One friend had finished their meal by the time the next person’s meal had arrived. I think this is a one-off situation, but it was a little disappointing

Lovely place. - Edit
Really nice quiet restaurant with slightly fancy feel. Enjoyed my spaghetti chickpea and beetroot vegan balls and had a tasty juice. All very healthy and nutritious, just a little more on the pricey side.

Read moreA group of young and energetic service crews. Very attentive service.
Despite a crowded lunch Monday, food were served within 15 mins.
Abit noisy compared to other outlets but still a comfy place to dine in.
First visited 6 Mar 18
Had a nice pumpkin soup and Aglio Olio.
Suggest to go after lunch crowd.
More peace.

Best in Singapore - Edit
My favourite restaurant in Singapore. I discovered this place I think since late 2017. I love the place, very cosy and cool ambiance. I loved their mushroom soy carbonara and cakes. You can chill here to work and read books and even good place to meet friends for a catch up or even good for dates. Haha.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options. Beautiful ambience.
Cons: Pricey but reasonable.

wonderful (but expensive) experience - Edit
i absolutely enjoyed my time there! the staff were friendly, the store decor was great and the food was good😄menu has clearly labelled vegan options! the menu also labels whether soy/alliums are present.
Read morei ordered:
1. steam dumplings (8pc) $10.80
beautifully made dumplings w a chilli sauce on the side. not spectacular but bad! fragrant sesame oil. 7.5/10
2. mushroom soy carbonara pasta $13.80
creamy herb sauce with assorted mushrooms, topped with nutritional yeast. best vegan carbonara i had in a while 😫 8/10
portion was reasonable!
3. organic mushroom aglio olio $10.80
pasta with garlic, mushrooms and herbs. like the usual aglio olio flavour, 7/10! wish there were more than just mushrooms, perhaps tofu...? reasonable portion!
overall, it’s a great spot! only downside is the price. would love to be back to try more dishes and their desserts!
Pros: many vegan options, good food, reasonable portion, friendly staff, great ambience and decor
Cons: expensive

Plenty of vegan options - Edit
Went here for lunch today and had stir fried brown rice and veg and a kombucha. The food was OK but I found it a bit oily which I was surprised by. Was tasty and filling though. The kombucha was far and away the best kombucha I've ever had, I really enjoyed that.
Read moreThere are so many options on the menu I would come here again to try other options and also to try their cakes and bakery items.
Pros: Vegan options clearly labelled, Amazing kombucha
Cons: A bit greasy

Lots of healthy choices - Edit
Lots of healthy food choices with drinks and many vegan desserts. There is also a small shop inside. When I went there the system apparently broke down on my order so about 40 mins later when I noticed everyone else around had been served, i told them about the problem. I was served 50 mins after my order had been taken. No apologies and when I asked for a discount I got told off.. very disappointed in the service 😡

Delicious healthy food - Edit
A great hideout away from the busy orchard road, yet you can still see the road from the restaurant.😄 Delicious healthy food. I love their dumpling soup most. Rojak is tasty and refreshing as well with fruits added. Just sometimes the staff should give more welcoming and courteous approach.

A Wonderful Place - Edit
I found this place through the direction from HappyCow app and I was so glad that I'd made it here.
Read moreThe ambience was wonderful, pretty quiet but not awkward at all. It was a nice place to have a meeting with your friends, for a date, and even for having a lunch or dinner alone. It's also very comfortable so you could take your laptop there and work on something, peacefully.
The menu was exciting, they give complete information about the ingredients and which ones are vegan and which ones vegetarian and stuff. The taste was also very very good. Their service was very nice and helpful too.
I can't really mention even a single contra statement about this place according to my experience.
I'll definitely be back here when I visit Singapore in the future.
Pros: Nice ambience, Good food, Friendly service

Decent food, but high prices and poor service - Edit
Traditionally, Singapore isn't known for having too many fresh, healthy vegan options. So we were pleasantly surprised to stumble across this place on our walk down Orchard Road. The atmosphere inside is modern and comfortable.
Read moreThe food is tasty, but don't expect big portions. We didn't have a great experience with the service. The sandwich we ordered took 20-minutes longer than the rest of the meal.
Overall, it was ok but we probably wouldn't go back. There are better options in Singapore that provide a better overall experience.
Pros: Good food, Pleasant atmosphere, Healthy options
Cons: Small portions, High prices, Poor Service

Yummy vegan dessert - Edit
I got the vegan berries crumble and holy god it’s so damn yummy!!!! The staff helped me to heat up and it’s delicious max to the top while served warm!!!!!!!!!!! And there are so many vegan cake available as well. The reason I gave 4-Star only as the steam dumpling was a disappointment to me. The dumpling skin is so soggy and somehow it made texture and taste a disaster. This used to be my favorite dish but they just destroyed it. Hopefully the dumpling will be back to its glorious day for my next visit.
Read morePros: Super yummy vegan cake, A lot of vegan options, Nice environment

organic - Edit
I was disappointed to see a branch had disappeared at Clarke quay.
Read moreA real emphasis on health and organic and a fantastic setting.
We had the veg nuggets which were packed full of nuggets. The cashew samosas were a little spicy and nice and creamy.
We had a set noodle with dumpling and a white noodle in a sesame sauce with aubergine, okra and tofu. Both the mains were good but I'm glad we shared as toward the end I would have struggled if we only has one Main each. The flavours were good but a Louise too much and sharing is a great idea.
Main dishes were SGD 10 each and good value for organic food.
My only issue was being charged for water. An emphasis on health and th n charging for water don't go hand in hand.
Pros: organic, lots of vegan, staff and vibe.
Cons: water charge.

Amazing ambience, chill vibes & good food with reasonable prices - Edit
Love love love their interior decor & chill vibes, as well as how most of their menu is vegan hoho :3 I got the pomodoro crudo pasta ($10.80) which came with vegan parmesan cheese, sweet n’ chewy sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, savoury pickled? olives & some mixed herbs :) Will be back to try their matcha tiramisu ($8.50) someday! • Update: Their classic tiramisu was !! :’) Love how most vegan creams (or at least almost all of those I’ve tried) are the light-tasting kind you won’t get sick of a few mouthfuls in :’) Also really liked how this wasn’t too sweet, and how the chopped walnuts in the cake layers added another dimension to this dish :)

good but pricey - Edit
Love their dumpling noodles and the atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice. However, food is on the pricey side and portion is not that big for its price. Still would come on a special occasion as they do serve good quality veg food and staff are friendly :-)

A lil pricey, some good, some bad. - Edit
I had a lil dinner gathering at Real Food with 2 other HappyCow Ambassadors
Read moreWhat we had:
• Dumpling Soup - comes with its own chilli paste for dipping. Dumpling skin is soft and the inside filled with an assortment of veggies. Really good.
• Portobello Mushroom Burger - I didn’t try the burger but the onion rings are so yummy!
• Pomodoro Pasta - I didn’t try this dish but I’ve heard it’s not bad.
• Kway Teow - On the menu there’s a non-vegan option that calls for egg based gravy. I had the vegan one and it’s bland, I had to drizzle extra soy sauce for flavour. I like the sautéed mushrooms in this.
Pros: Near Somerset MRT, Nice Ambience, Prompt Service
Cons: Kway Teow dish was bland , bad lighting
